Our Feedback
I find your website useful and easy to us. I also enjoy your changing ads. in papers and mags. On Saturday at the Garden Organic AGM Professor Ian Lang, talking about Food Security urged us all to grow more fruit. He pointed out that in Britain we produce a mere 5% of the fruit we eat, and we should consume 9 a day not just 5 a day fruit and veg.
Last November I planted your Polka raspberries. They are now strong tall vigorous canes, tallest I have ever grown and producing throughout the summer. I'll need steps to pick the late ones!!
My first purchase from you was before the web, shrub roses for my allotment for the vit. C. Enjoyed your family history.

Supplied as a containerised tree pruned to approximately 3-4 ft (90-120cm) tall including pot.
This Product is Available Now.One of the earliest pears. A good reliable variety that produces heavy crops of medium sized yellow-green fruits with a red blush.
Delicious, sweet and juicy with a light acid flavour which makes them also suitable for cooking.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
Recommended by the RHS to assist in encouraging bats into the garden as the flowers are likely to attract moths and other night-flying insects which bats love to eat!
